I appreciate the response :agree:
Did they remove the term posture from the handbook or has it always been absent?
The old language (under P&E) was
Carriage
Carriage is a trained inner strength of the body that makes possible ease of movement from the center of the body.
I think the emphasis was on inner core strength. In ice dance (as in dance generally) I think that each type of ballroom dance has it's own expected posture and attitude.
The ISU has become increasingly stingy in elucidating the criteria for the various program components, compared to when the CoP first came out. I always wondered if that was because they decided that trying to over-define artistic qualities was not very helpful in terms of judging.
